It feels like everyone around me is a riddle-maker, saying things I don't understand at all.
"Oh dear, it seems the flood washed something away..."
Hanabi chuckled and said.
"The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple."
Bai Zhi added helplessly, but immediately realized that she seemed to have been tricked.
This one sentence can expose a lot of problems.
"Oh, I understand."
Hanabi suddenly realized, and then became even more curious.
The proverb about Angelica dahurica comes from Xianzhou. The fact that the answer was so fluent suggests that Angelica dahurica may be from Xianzhou.
But why would the people of the Immortal Ship get involved in this matter?
She could understand the company coming over, but the focus of the Fairy Boat wasn't there; they were more concerned with the monstrous creatures that needed to be hunted.
However, she immediately became excited. Hiding her identity like this, she thought it would be a lot of fun if she could expose the other person's true identity.
"Please ignore this masked fool, sir. She's just a simple-minded person who enjoys herself. I think we might have more in common to talk about."
"Everyone, I'll cover all the expenses here!"
A man dressed in splendid attire slowly walked in, and a cheer erupted throughout the store as soon as he spoke.
"Oh dear, the little peacock is just like its name, it likes to spread its gorgeous feathers and show them to everyone. And following people is not the behavior of a good person."
Fireworks didn't even turn her head before immediately retorting.
"However, few people know that this glitz and glamour is merely a disguise for their weakness. Mr. Tin Man, here's a piece of advice: never trust a gambler!"
"hehe."
Sand Gold smiled, and at the same time gave Bai Zhi and Huang Quan a deep look.
He didn't know Bai Zhi's background, but he knew Huang Quan's identity as a Void Envoy, who possessed exceptional strength among the Envoys.
Even his superior, a "diamond," would likely not fare well against this opponent.
However, the ethereal messenger, though extremely dangerous, is also a crucial element in this gamble.
Without this person's help, it would have been extremely difficult for me to truly access the core of Pinocene.
As for Bai Zhi, the fact that she could sit here so amicably with this Void Envoy, eating small cakes, and that the way she was treated was clearly different from what was expected of her, suggests that she is probably not an ordinary person.
Winning over Huang Quan might be very difficult, because the other party is a messenger, and a non-existent one at that.
However, winning over this armored man, who seems to be a former member of the Grammer Cavalry, should still be no problem.
"Sir, would you mind if we discussed this further?"
Sand Gold gracefully took a glass of wine and said leisurely.
“I don’t mind, but sir, what would you like to talk about? I don’t think I need to be so concerned about one of the Stoneheart Ten.”
Bai Zhi didn't dislike Sand Gold, though. This guy was truly ruthless, ruthless to himself and ruthless to others.
To achieve one's goals, one is willing to gamble everything on the future.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to have heard of my reputation. Alas, it's just a little bit of fame, nothing to mention."
Sand Gold smiled and shouted, "I'll treat everyone to something nice to drink. Please go over to the shop over there and pick up a free snack."
At this, everyone in the shop got up and rushed to the shopkeeper to get their food.
Meanwhile, all of Bai Zhi's people were also cleared out.
"Sir, what is your opinion on Pinocone?"
"A false dream, a real hell, is a great place full of fun, little peacock, what do you think?"
"Miss Hanabi is right... but I'd like to hear what this gentleman has to say."
Sand Gold frowned, then looked at Bai Zhi. He wanted to use Bai Zhi's attitude towards Pinocchio to offer some favorable terms to entice her.
"Mr. Peacock, are you really going to ask me about my attitude towards Pinocchio? Perhaps this isn't the answer you're looking for~"
Bai Zhi could guess some of the ideas behind the gold dust.
This guy is the kind of person who can use anyone around him. The fact that he's eating with Huang Quan here means he definitely has designs on him.
"Haha, that's right, Mr. Tin, let's call him Little Peacock, all showy, but actually very fragile."
"Haha, it's okay, everyone has different ideas. I also want to hear other people's impressions of this dreamland."
Sand Gold paid no attention to Fireworks' words; such words were utterly insignificant to his past self.
"I guess that as one of the ten members of Stoneheart, coming here probably means that the company has other intentions about this place."
“You are very smart. If you are willing to join our Interstellar Peace Company, I am willing to guarantee in my name that you will become a P40 or higher employee directly, and you will not be easily dismissed or asked to leave.”
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Sha Jin immediately tentatively offered a price.
Positions at P40 and above qualify employees to pursue further training at Pierpoint headquarters, making them positions with immense potential.
He wanted to test the other party's attitude towards this.
“That’s not quite right, Mr. Peacock. I don’t care about positions above P40 unless you can put me on equal footing with your superiors.”
Bai Zhi said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.
The company has designs on Pinocchio this time, and Toppa could have asked her to help, but he had already used her connections before.
By getting involved here, I might be able to snag some shares in Pinocchio.
"To be on equal footing with my superiors..."
Sand Gold paused for a moment, his expression turning serious. Did the other party not understand the meaning of those words?
His superior was Diamond, who served as a guardian of the company. To be on equal footing with Diamond, one either needed to be a guardian or make significant contributions to the company.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to reach that location.
Could it be that this guy in front of me wearing Grammer armor is a messenger?
He thought of it subconsciously.
But then he dismissed the idea.
The title of "Envoy" is not something commonplace. As one of the ten members of the Stone Heart, it is already a great honor for him to be granted even a small amount of protective power.
Moreover, I've never heard of any envoy who came from the Grammer Cavalry.
This suit of armor is something that ordinary people without special genes cannot wear, so there is virtually no possibility of counterfeiting it.
Or does this person think that having a Void Commander as a friend gives them the same level of intimidation as a Commander?
He felt that the latter theory was more likely than the speculation that the other party was an envoy.

However, Sand Gold didn't show anything, but smiled and said, "If this gentleman believes he has such great value, the company can offer a corresponding price."
"Hmm, maybe. But Mr. Peacock, I've heard you're quite good at gambling. Shall we try our luck?"
Sand Gold raised an eyebrow; he hadn't expected anyone to want to gamble with him.
"If you'd like, taking a gamble isn't out of the question, but what would you like to gamble on?"
"The company's goal is to plant a stake in Pinocchio and gain some power and profits here, right?"
"of course."
"So, how will you obtain these benefits?"
"Well... I'm sorry, I can't disclose that."
Sand Gold smiled slightly and said elegantly.
"Let's make a bet then. In this incident, in the final battle, who will be the main force to defeat the final obstacle?"
"Oh?"
He became interested in the gold dust; this gambling method was something he had never seen before.
"Could it be that he thinks the Void Envoy beside him will help him defeat the final obstacle?"
"And how did he know it would end in battle, not peace talks?"
Sand Gold began to ponder carefully, then glanced at Huang Quan next to Bai Zhi, who was eating small bites of food, seemingly not caring much about anything else.
There is actually a very slight possibility of that.
However, he actually valued the people on the Star Train more. The Void Envoy was indeed very powerful, but that was only on certain levels.
If you encounter a truly powerful embodiment of the same kind—the Infinite Chieftain.
Even if it's an illusory messenger, it probably won't do well.
But the other party is so confident...
He hesitated.
"It seems Mr. Peacock is also a bit hesitant. No problem, let's bet on something else."
Bai Zhi smiled and changed the subject.
"what?"
Sand Gold raised his head and stared at Angelica dahurica.
"I'm betting that someone is watching us here."
Bai Zhi said calmly.
"Ok?"
Sand Gold subconsciously looked around and saw that everything seemed ordinary, with people crowding around the shopkeeper for free food.
The nearby trees were only occupied by some common blue-purple crows, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about them.
However, it is certain that the other party is not the kind of person who makes baseless accusations.
Since they dared to bet with him that someone was watching them, they must have discovered something.
Moreover, he did indeed feel a strange sense of being watched as he walked along.
He originally thought this was a feeling unique to dreams.
But now it seems that someone may have been watching me ever since I entered this place.
"What's the stakes?"
He felt it was worthwhile to expose the person spying on him if the cost was high enough.
"As for the bet... if there's an opportunity in the future, Mr. Sand Gold, you can do me a favor. If I lose, I'll do you a favor in return, how about that?"
"it is good!"
Gold dust was acquired without hesitation.
"Alright, Mr. Sand Gold, watch carefully."
Bai Zhi gently waved her hand, and the blue-purple crows flying in the trees over there were drawn to her.
"Could this... be the entity that's been monitoring us?"
Sand Gold frowned. He had indeed seen quite a few of these birds and had thought they were a specialty of Pinocchio.
"you guess."
With a firm squeeze, Bai Zhi crushed the crow to pieces.
"You probably still know too little about Pinocone."
In fact, Bai Zhi herself didn't know much about Tong Xie, but she knew that, in reality, Sunday wasn't the most important guy in the entire Pinocchio.
Brother Zhou Tian is a saintly figure who longs to bring peace and a better future to more people.
He was just too idealistic and didn't really go down to experience what everyone felt, which led to his sister breaking down in defenses. Otherwise, the train crew alone, without the help of the messenger, wouldn't have been able to fight on God's Sunday.
Compared to Brother Zhou Tian, the Dream Master is the most mysterious figure.
